Transgender child actor to guest star on ‘Modern Family’

ModFamLOS ANGELES (AP) – A transgender child actor will guest star on Sept. 28 night’s Modern Family.

Director Ryan Case has posted a picture of herself alongside 8-year-old Jackson Millarker on Instagram . She writes that Millarker will play Lily’s friend, Tom. Lily is the daughter of Cam and Mitchell, played on the show by Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. A spokeswoman for ABC has confirmed Millarker’s appearance.

Case says that Millarker is “just wonderful” and one of many reasons she loves being a part of the show.

A synopsis of the episode titled “A Stereotypical Day” says Cam and Mitchell overhear Lily insulting Tom and use the moment to teach her a lesson about acceptance.
